It's really a stupid question but I can find instructions or a picture anywhere. I bought control arms with the bend from IRO and I'm not really sure which way they go in. The bend closest to the axle? Or the bracket? And bend facing up? Or down? Attached is a picture of the arms. Show me pictures if possible please. Thanks for the help guys.

 

Bend goes at the axle.

 

With the bend pointing down?

 

yes

 

Supposed to be so your tires don't rub the control arm when you turn

 

The bend is usually there so it doesn't bottom out on the shock mount when you articulate your suspension. If it was for tire clearence it should bend horizantally to the mounts (away from the tire). Like WJ LCAs.

 

Huh.. I swear I'd read that multiple times. Oh well now I know lol

 

That bend doesn't move the arm further away from the tire, the arm is still located in the stock place. Like said above, it'd have to bend inward towards the center to gain any tire clearance.

 

"The more you know" lol

Pass it on.
